had disappeared. Fortunately, there was plenty of food here so Taka could stay alive.
After gorging himself upon the feast that lay before him with Mufasa, Mufasa asked Taka a few questions about his journey. “I finally managed to catch up with you Taka! You must have been starving, how did you get here all on your own?”
“I wasn’t on my own; didn’t you see the beast creature thing that carried me here?”
“I saw some sort of tracks, but there was definitely no creature like that, there was a dust cloud and when I jumped in, I saw you staring in amazement at me and then we were here. Was I supposed to see something?”
“Well let’s see. From my perspective, I saw a hawk about to slaughter you, and two lionesses coming over the hill with some funny looking bluish bird. It was the same hill that you had come over less than half a minute before.”
“What? A hawk trying to kill me? Two lionesses following me?” Then in a quieter voice, almost to himself, he started muttering, “oh no oh no oh no oh no.”
“What’s wrong Mufasa? We escaped.”
“The hawk is after me now. He will want to kill me or at least very seriously injure me. And the pride is looking for me, but Ahadi is not. I wonder why…”
“It can’t be that bad Mufasa. Come on, let’s just lie down and rest. We can share our stories now.”
And with that, they lay down and recited their adventures up until that point. This night was the first happy night either of them had had since the nights before the winds came.
Carelessness: Chapter 2
Ahadi was about to have an emotional breakdown. He lay down trying to calm his thoughts. It wasn’t working. He stormed out of priderock determined to follow his cubs to wherever they went. They wouldn’t escape him. Somehow, he would bring them back to the pride. They were his only heirs.
Despite the danger of himself being killed or running into that hawk again, he went forward. Looking back only once at Rafiki. He nodded at Ahadi.
Sarabi saw Ahadi leave and ran over to her friend Sarafina. “Wake up! Let’s follow Ahadi. He’s going somewhere.”
“Can’t we just stay here? I’m tired.”
“You’re no fun. Come on. We’ll stay hidden and see what it is he has to do now.”
“Oh all right. I’m so tired though.”
The two young lionesses silently went out to follow Ahadi. Not a single lion/lioness saw them go. Even Rafiki wasn’t aware of their leaving.
They walked quickly and quietly until they were a long ways away. After that they started talking quietly about where they thought Ahadi was going. Among the theories, were some that included him going out to rescue his cubs, but most were silly things that they laughed at.
Suddenly, Sarafina looked up, and saw Ahadi very close. She quickly warned Sarabi and they hid quickly. Ahadi had one ear cocked, and looked in their direction. It appeared that he didn’t notice them. But they didn’t know for sure. He could just be ignoring them.
He headed off with Sarabi and Sarafina following. They were nervous now and traveled in silence. They stayed off the trail of Ahadi and tried to stay hidden as much as possible. The problems they might face, such as food, and homesickness had not occurred to them yet.
Ahadi had seen them of course. If a creature had not seen them, they would have had the most horrible eyes in creation. He would need to give all the cubs a lesson in hiding when everyone was safe and sound at Priderock. He had left them alone because if they did get in trouble, he would be able to help them out because he was so close. He knew they were following him. Why else hide two feet away from him, but a very long distance away from priderock.
He continued on his journey, slightly faster. No need to pick up more curious beings. Every now and then he glanced back and saw them immediately dart behind the nearest bush or rock. That was stupid; they should just freeze and slowly sink to the ground. At least they had sense to stay off the trail he was making.
On the trail went. It was faded now; it would only last a few more days. He quickly got to the place where he had been sent off. Maybe it had been for the better he thought. Still, those blasted lionesses had gotten to see all the action. Well, as long as everyone got back safe, it was okay with him.
Waiting: Chapter 3
Sakanya and Kuta stared in horror as the hawk bore down on Mufasa and follow him into the dust cloud. Zazu, despite his wanting to stay out of this, had to go forward and try to stop Kucha. For a moment, the dust grew greater in size as everyone got into the same area. And after it had all settled, what was there, was left plain for the eye to see.
There was only Kucha lying flat on his face with Zazu standing next to him, asking if he was okay. Kuta rushed in first and Sakanya followed shortly thereafter.
“Zazu!” called Kuta, “what happened?”
“I don’t know. As soon as I got here, I could see enough to know that there wasn’t any Mufasa anymore, and there was definitely not anything else either. Also, Kucha seems to have hit his head on the ground pretty hard. We’ll have to wait until he wakes up.”
“Then what happened? They couldn’t just disappear. Could they?”
They were sitting there pondering this for a long time. They occasionally proposed a solution like it was all just an illusion created by the sun. They couldn’t find anything that made sense though. After several hours, Kucha started waking up so Kuta went away for a small amount of time to hunt some. Meanwhile, Sakanya stayed with Zazu and Kucha to decide on a course of action.
Zazu was more worried about his friend Kucha however. “Kucha, are you okay? You must have suffered a pretty bad bump on the head there.”
All they got from Kucha was meaningless babble for now. They hoped he would be able to come around soon because he might have caught a glimpse of what had happened. As of now, the only creatures that they knew of that had probably seen it happen, were Kucha, Mufasa, whose whereabouts are currently unknown, and maybe Taka if he was actually there.
Eventually, Zazu thought that they should probably go back to wherever the lionesses home was. Sakanya thought that was a great idea. The pride would surely welcome a peaceful bird like him. Kucha was more of an issue, but they could take care of that.
“All right Zazu, let’s wait around a night or two so we can regain our strength and maybe get Kucha going again. I hope Kuta comes back soon. I’m getting pretty hungry. We only stopped about once to eat, so we’re starving.”
“What is it like Sakanya?”
“What is what like?”
“Your home. What do you call it? Where is it? What does it look like? Do you think it really will be good place for us?”
“Of course it will be good for you and Kucha. We call it home or priderock. I know, it isn’t very original. It’s way over the horizon right now. Three or four days quick walk. Oh look! Here comes Kuta with a whole warthog! Come on Kuta! Zazu wants to know what Priderock looks like and we’re starving.”
“This thing is heavy! Come help!”
“You should tell Zazu what Priderock looks like first Kuta.”
“Fine. I would say it’s a great big grey rock. It goes up into the sky for a very long ways. Also, normally, only the royal blood can go up on top. I was up there once. It was a great view.”
Kuta paused in bringing the kill back and thought back to the view. Zazu could tell that it was a magnificent view from there.
“Well anyway, now will you help me get this back there Sakanya?”
“Sure. Where do you want me to pull?”
Slowly, they dragged the carcass back and had a very satisfying meal. Even Kucha was able to drag a couple pieces into his mouth. Now there wy hard. We’ll have to wait until he wakes up.”
“Then what happened? They couldn’t just disappear. Could they?”
They were sitting there pondering this for a long time. They occasionally proposed a solution like it was all just an illusion created by the sun. They couldn’t find anything that made sense though. After several hours, Kucha started waking up so Kuta went away for a small amount of time to hunt some. Meanwhile, Sakanya stayed with Zazu and Kucha to decide on a course of action.
Zazu was more worried about his friend Kucha however. “Kucha, are you okay? You must have suffered a pretty bad bump on the head there.”
All they got from Kucha was meaningless babble for now. They hoped he would be able to come around soon because he might have caught a glimpse of what had happened.

“All right Zazu, let’s wait around a night or two so we can regain our strength and maybe get Kucha going again. I hope Kuta comes back soon. I’m getting pretty hungry. We only stopped about once to as nothing else except wait for Kucha to become more than a babbling idiot.
After the others had feasted upon the dead warthog, Kucha finally started babbling something coherent. This was taken as a sign that he was recovering. Soon he would return to the land of the living and could journey with them.
Differences: Chapter 4
Mufasa and Taka were very laid back the next day. They really didn’t want to do much as there was food all around them, and they had no clue where they were. Mufasa still had some questions about what Pora had told Taka when he was with him.
“So Taka, let me get this straight. He told you that he was supposed to turn you
